New creature: The Xingtian

This is a joint post with the awesome Gianni, creator of the historical Chinese BRP setting The Celestial Empire and owner of the Celestial Empire blog.

The Xingtian is a malevolent creature in the annals of Chinese mythology, who once challenged the Yellow Emperor to a duel, only to be beheaded. Though this would have killed any other person, the Xingtian fled without a head, with a mouth appearing on his stomach. Pretty horrific stuff, I'm sure you'll agree, so when Gianni suggested we each wrote a version of the creature, me for Tunnels and Trolls and he for Basic Roleplaying, I thought it was a great idea.
